PART I



ITEM 1. BUSINESS.



TECO Capital Trust II (the Trust) is a statutory business trust that TECO Funding Company II, LLC (the LLC), a subsidiary of TECO Energy, Inc. (TECO Energy), formed under Delaware
law on November 20, 2000 pursuant to a certificate of trust filed with the Delaware Secretary of State. The Trust is governed by an Amended and Restated Trust Agreement dated as of January 15, 2002 by and among the LLC as depositor, The Bank of New
York as property trustee, and The Bank of New York (Delaware) as Delaware trustee (the Trust Agreement). The Trust Agreement is qualified as an indenture under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939. TECO Energy and the Trust issued to the
public 17,965,000 mandatorily convertible adjustable conversion-rate equity security units with an annual distribution rate of 9.50%, with an aggregate liquidation amount of $449.1 million on January 15, 2002 for the purpose of acquiring related
company preferred securities from the LLC, which in turn purchased a corresponding amount of subordinated notes from TECO Energy. Each equity security unit initially consisted of a contract to purchase shares of common stock of TECO Energy and a
trust preferred security of the trust, which was pledged to secure the obligation to purchase the common stock of TECO Energy under the related purchase contracts.



Each trust preferred security has a stated liquidation amount of $25, on which distributions are payable at the rate of 5.11% per year on a
quarterly basis, in arrears, through October 15, 2004. In order to provide holders of equity security units comprised of trust preferred security and a purchase contract (each a normal unit) with the necessary collateral to be applied in
the settlement of their purchase contracts, a remarketing agent will sell the trust preferred securities of the holders of normal units, other than those electing not to participate in the remarketing, and the remarketing agent will use the proceeds
to purchase treasury securities, which the participating normal unitholders will pledge to secure their obligations under the related purchase contracts. Holders of trust preferred securities who have substituted collateral for the trust preferred
securities that were part of the normal units and hold the trust preferred securities separately may also elect to participate in the remarketing. In order to facilitate the remarketing of the trust preferred securities, the remarketing agent will
reset the rate of distribution on the trust preferred securities, and on the company preferred securities, for the quarterly payments payable on and after January 15, 2005.



The trust preferred securities represent a corresponding amount of company preferred securities of the LLC. The LLC sold company preferred
securities to the Trust and company common securities to TECO Energy. The LLC used the proceeds from the sale of the company preferred securities and the company common securities to buy from TECO Energy a series of 5.11% junior subordinated notes
due January 15, 2007, with the same financial terms as the company preferred securities. TECO Energy has guaranteed payments to be made on the company preferred securities pursuant to a guarantee agreement. TECO Energy has indirectly guaranteed
payments to be made to the holders of the trust preferred securities as a result of their beneficial interest in the company preferred securities.



The cumulative cash distributions are subject to certain deferral provisions. TECO Energy can defer interest payments on the underlying subordinated notes for up to five
years, but not beyond the maturity date on the subordinated notes of January 15, 2007. If TECO Energy defers interest payments on the subordinated notes, the Trust will defer distributions on the trust preferred securities. During any deferral
period, distributions on the trust preferred securities will continue to accumulate quarterly at the initial annual rate of 5.11% of the stated liquidation amount through October 15, 2004 and at the reset rate thereafter through January 15, 2007.

The Trust has minimal assets other than the company preferred securities. The Trust Agreement does not permit the Trust

began trading on the New York Stock Exchange on January 16, 2002 under the symbol TE PRU.



As long as the trust preferred securities remain outstanding, TECO Energy is required to maintain a 100 percent direct or indirect ownership in the company common securities issued by the LLC. TECO Energy was in
compliance with this covenant at December 31, 2003.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2003.



TECO Capital Trust II was formed on November 20, 2000 and issued to the
public 17,965,000 of its trust preferred securities as components of equity security units issued by TECO Energy, Inc. and the Trust for an aggregate purchase price of $449,125,000 on January 15, 2002. The proceeds from the issuance were remitted to
the LLC in exchange for 17,965,000 company preferred securities for an aggregate purchase price of $449,125,000. TECO Energy, Inc. purchased all of the company common securities of the LLC for an aggregate purchase price of $13,975,000. The LLC
remitted the proceeds from the issuance of both its company common securities and company preferred securities to TECO Energy, Inc. in exchange for $463,100,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.11% Junior Subordinated Notes Due 2007 of TECO Energy,
Inc., dated January 15, 2002, and bearing interest and maturing on the dates and in the amounts set forth in the Indenture, dated as of August 17, 1998, by and between the Company and The Bank of New York, as Trustee, as supplemented by the Sixth
Supplemental Indenture, dated as of January 15, 2002.



The trust preferred
securities represent undivided beneficial interests in the assets of the Trust, which consist of a corresponding amount of the company preferred securities. Distributions on the company preferred securities are passed on to the holders of the trust
preferred securities. The Trust is required to make distributions on the trust preferred securities concurrently with, and in the same amount as, the distributions on the company preferred securities. Distributions on the company preferred
securities are cumulative and accumulate from the date they are first issued at the annual rate of 5.11% of the $25 per company preferred security liquidation preference. Distributions are payable quarterly in arrears on January 15, April 15, July
15 and October 15 of each year. Distributions accrued on the company preferred securities at December 31, 2002 and 2003, together with the amounts accrued during the periods January 1 through January 15 of 2003 and 2004, respectively, were
subsequently distributed by the Trust to the holders of the trust preferred securities.



The equity security units (of which the trust preferred securities are a component) began trading on the New York Stock Exchange on January 16, 2002 under the symbol TE PRU.



TECO Energy, Inc. owns all of the company common securities of the LLC, which, unless an
event of default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the junior subordinated notes, represent 100 percent of the voting rights in the LLC. The LLC is managed by a board of directors who are designated as managers of the LLC
within the meaning of Delaware law. The directors will serve until their successors are duly elected and qualified. The directors may appoint officers of the limited liability company from time to time to manage the day-to-day affairs of the limited
liability company. All voting rights in the LLC are vested in TECO Energy, Inc. as the sole holder of the company common securities, including the right to elect the board of directors.

##### Table of Contents

Because the Trust is a special purpose financing entity with no separate business operations and minimal assets other
than the company preferred securities, the Trusts ability to pay distributions on the trust preferred securities depends on the ability of the LLC to pay distributions on the common preferred securities, which in turn depends on the LLCs
receipt of payments from TECO Energy, Inc. Accordingly, an evaluation of TECO Energy, Inc.s financial condition is relevant to an evaluation of the financial condition of the Trust and its ability to pay distributions on the trust preferred
securities, and the Trust refers you to the information about TECO Energy, Inc., including financial statements and other financial information, included in TECO Energy, Inc.s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003,
its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2003, June 30, 2003 and September 30, 2003, and its Current Reports on Form 8-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, copies of which may be obtained from the
Director of Investor Relations at TECO Energy, Inc., 702 North Franklin Street, Tampa, Florida 33602 or from its website at www.tecoenergy.com.



Contractual obligations of the Trust consist only of repayment of the principal amount of trust preferred securities due on January 15, 2007.



ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.



On January 15, 2002, the Trust purchased 17,965,000 company preferred securities of the LLC
with an annual distribution rate of 5.11% for an aggregate purchase price of $449,125,000. TECO Energy has guaranteed all payments to be made on the company preferred securities. There is no public market for these company preferred securities.

Report of Independent Certified Public Accountants



To the Trustees of the TECO Capital Trust II:



In our opinion, the financial statements listed in the accompanying index present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for trust activities of the
TECO Capital Trust II (the Trust) at December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the changes in net assets available for trust activities for the year ended December 31, 2003 and for the period from January 15, 2002 (date of formation) through
December 31, 2002, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trusts management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used
and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



A. OVERVIEW



TECO Capital Trust II (the Trust) is a
statutory business trust that TECO Funding Company II, LLC (the LLC), a subsidiary of TECO Energy, Inc. (TECO Energy), formed under Delaware law on November 20, 2000 pursuant to a certificate of trust filed with the Delaware
Secretary of State. The Trust is governed by an Amended and Restated Trust Agreement dated as of January 15, 2002 by and among the LLC as depositor, The Bank of New York as property trustee, and The Bank of New York (Delaware) as Delaware trustee
(the Trust Agreement). The Trust Agreement is qualified as an indenture under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939. TECO Energy and the Trust issued to the public 17,965,000 mandatorily convertible adjustable conversion-rate equity security
units with an annual distribution rate of 9.50%, with an aggregate liquidation amount of $449.1 million on January 15, 2002 for the purpose of acquiring related company preferred securities from the LLC, which in turn purchased a corresponding
amount of subordinated notes from TECO Energy. Each equity security unit initially consisted of a contract to purchase shares of common stock of TECO Energy and a trust preferred security of the trust, which was pledged to secure the obligation to
purchase the common stock of TECO Energy under the related purchase contracts. At December 31, 2003, the trust preferred securities had a carrying amount of $449,125,000 and an estimated fair market value of $298,219,000. The estimated fair market
value was based on quoted market prices.



Each trust preferred
security has a stated liquidation amount of $25, on which distributions are payable at the rate of 5.11% per year on a quarterly basis, in arrears, through October 15, 2004. In order to provide holders of equity security units comprised of trust
preferred security and a purchase contract (each a normal unit) with the necessary collateral to be applied in the settlement of their purchase contracts, a remarketing agent will sell the trust preferred securities of the holders of
normal units, other than those electing not to participate in the remarketing, and the remarketing agent will use the proceeds to purchase treasury securities, which the participating normal unitholders will pledge to secure their obligations under
the related purchase contracts. Holders of trust preferred securities who have substituted collateral for the trust preferred securities that were part of the normal units and hold the trust preferred securities separately may also elect to
participate in the remarketing. In order to facilitate the remarketing of the trust preferred securities, the remarketing agent will reset the rate of distribution on the trust preferred securities, and on the company preferred securities, for the
quarterly payments payable on and after January 15, 2005.



The
trust preferred securities represent a corresponding amount of company preferred securities of the LLC. The LLC sold company preferred securities to the Trust and company common securities to TECO Energy. The LLC used the proceeds from the sale of
the company preferred securities and the company common securities to buy from TECO Energy a series of 5.11% junior subordinated notes due January 15, 2007, with the same financial terms as the company preferred securities. TECO Energy has
guaranteed payments to be made on the company preferred securities pursuant to a guarantee agreement. TECO Energy has indirectly guaranteed payments to be made to the holders of the trust preferred securities as a result of their beneficial interest
in the company preferred securities.



The cumulative cash
distributions are subject to certain deferral provisions. TECO Energy can defer interest payments on the underlying subordinated notes for up to five years, but not beyond the maturity date on the subordinated notes of January 15, 2007. If TECO
Energy defers interest payments on the subordinated notes, the Trust will defer distributions on the trust preferred securities. During any deferral period, distributions on the trust preferred securities will continue to accumulate quarterly at the
initial annual rate of 5.11% of the stated liquidation amount through October 15, 2004 and at the reset rate thereafter through January 15, 2007.

##### Table of Contents

The Trust has minimal assets other than the company preferred securities. The Trust Agreement does not
permit the Trust to engage in any activities other than holding the company preferred securities, issuing the trust preferred securities, and engaging in other related activities. The equity security units (of which the trust preferred securities
are a component) began trading on the New York Stock Exchange on January 16, 2002 under the symbol TE PRU.



As long as the trust preferred securities remain outstanding, TECO Energy is required to maintain a 100 percent direct or indirect ownership in the
company common securities issued by the LLC. TECO Energy was in compliance with this covenant at December 31, 2003.



B. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES



BASIS OF PRESENTATION



Additions to net assets, including dividend income, and deductions from net assets, including dividend distributions, are recognized on an accrual basis.
Dividend distributions accumulated from the date the Trust issued the trust preferred securities and are payable quarterly in arrears on January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15 of each year, beginning April 15, 2002.



INCOME TAXES



The Trust is characterized for United States federal income tax purposes as
a grantor trust and will not be taxed as a corporation. For income tax purposes, any income or losses from the Trust are passed through to the holders of the trust preferred securities. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been included in
the Trusts financial statements.



C. RELATED PARTIES



During the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Trust recognized
dividend income on the company preferred securities from the LLC of $22,950,288 and $21,994,026, respectively. The Trust also received dividend payments from the LLC of $22,950,288 and $17,212,716 in 2003 and 2002, respectively.
